Cultivation: I have an omnipotent land

Chapter 72 The Big Wedding

"father······"

Before the eldest daughter of the Du family could even react to her father's murder, Yan Yuxue had already closed in on the two women and grabbed them by the neck.

Both of them were only at the early stage of Qi Refining. Under the pressure of Yan Yuxue's strength at the ninth level of Qi Refining, their spiritual power was completely imprisoned, making them look like two mortals.

"You..." The eldest daughter of the Du family stared intently at Yan Yuxue, her bloodshot eyes filled with hatred.

"Not bad, not bad, that's the look in your eyes, just like mine back then." Yan Yuxue stared at the girl, then suddenly gave a cold laugh.

"What a pity, you don't have a chance anymore."

With a sudden burst of strength, Yan Yuxue snapped both of their necks.

And just like that, the head of the Du family, along with his wife and daughters, died in the core area of ​​the family without anyone knowing.

After confirming that the three were lifeless, Yan Yuxue took out a bone knife and walked up to Madam Du. The bone knife gently slid across her face, lifting the skin and severing her face.

And throughout the entire process, not a single drop of blood was spilled.

Yan Yuxue held the peeled-off face skin, took out several bottles of medicine, and began to refine it on the spot by activating her spiritual power. In a short while, the face skin regained its color and looked as if it had come back to life.

This scene made Xiao Ming's scalp tingle, and he couldn't understand where Yan Yuxue had obtained this kind of evil magic.

"I obtained this from a cultivator of the Corpse Soul Sect. I thought it would be useful, so I learned a few secret techniques." As if she could guess Xiao Ming's thoughts, Yan Yuxue took the initiative to answer his question. Then she walked up to the Du family patriarch and observed the bloody hole on his forehead.

"Fortunately, the wound isn't big and can still be repaired." So Yan Yuxue followed the same method and made another sheet of dough.

"Senior Brother Xiao, I have a sound mimicry spell here that's easy to learn. You can learn it now." Yan Yuxue handed a jade slip to Xiao Ming.

"I see." Xiao Ming looked at the jade slip and noodles in the other person's hand and understood her plan.

"So, what are you going to do with the body of this Miss Du? She's the main character tomorrow."

"Don't worry, senior brother, I have a plan."

Yan Yuxue took out a small black skull flag from her storage bag. As soon as the skull flag appeared, the temperature in the entire room dropped significantly.

"Is this a Soul-Summoning Banner?" Xiao Ming also had this item in his storage bag, which he obtained from a disciple of the Corpse Soul Sect, so he was naturally familiar with it.

Compared to this soul-summoning banner, his own was utterly inferior. This banner contained countless souls and emanated a chilling aura of resentment.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

As Yan Yuxue cast her spell, the black mist emanating from the small flag increased significantly, transforming into countless skulls. These vengeful spirits wailed and struggled, trying to break free of the Myriad Souls Banner.

However, as Yan Yuxue continued to inject her magic power, the small flag seemed to turn into a black hole, sucking all the vengeful spirits that wanted to escape back in.

In the end, only one vengeful spirit, guided by Yan Yuxue, was extracted from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and entered the body of the eldest daughter of the Du family.

The next moment, Miss Du immediately stood up and walked expressionlessly to Yan Yuxue.

"Could this be the puppet control technique of the Corpse Soul Sect?"

"That's right." Yan Yuxue wiped the sweat from her forehead and said weakly.

It seems that using this Ten Thousand Souls Banner is quite a burden for her.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Master, Madam," came the maid's voice from outside the door.

"What is it?" Yan Yuxue asked, her voice audible as Madam Du's.

"The Yan family has sent over the phoenix coronet and wedding gown; Miss, it's time for you to put on your makeup."

"Bring the things in, I want to do my daughter's makeup myself." Yan Yuxue glanced at the puppet beside her and slowly put the mask on her face.

·······

The next morning.

The air was filled with the sounds of gongs and drums, firecrackers, and the festive suona horns echoing throughout the bustling city center.

A large wedding procession set off from the Yan family in the north of the city, passed through the most prosperous streets of the city, and headed towards the Du family in the city center, surrounded by countless onlookers.

Yan Shaoyu, dressed in a red groom's suit, rode a tall horse through the crowded streets, exuding an air of triumph and exhilaration.

Today is his big day; he will marry Miss Du and become the future head of the Yan family.

After this day, the Yan family will gradually devour the Du family, just as they dealt with the Qi family, until the three families are unified and the Yan family becomes the dominant family.

At that time, Yan Family City can be renamed Yan Family City.

With that thought in mind, Yan Shaoyu arrived at the Du family home. After a series of tedious rituals, the wedding procession finally entered the Du family home smoothly.

Soon, Yan Shaoyu met the head of the Du family.

The two exchanged a glance, and Yan Shaoyu immediately looked away. For some reason, he had felt a sense of panic.

This puzzled Yan Shaoyu greatly. Although the other party's strength was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he himself was at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Moreover, he had personally witnessed his father-in-law's pathetic state in front of his own father.

"Why do I feel uneasy when I see him? Could it be because he's become my father-in-law?" Yan Shaoyu muttered to himself.

However, he soon stopped thinking about these things, because Madam Du had already led the eldest daughter of the Du family, who was dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, out.

With the help of her family members, the bride arrived at the sedan chair.

"My wife!" Yan Shaoyu called softly, reaching out to take his bride's hand.

However, when their hands touched slightly, Yan Shaoyu felt a chill, and the bride seemed unmoved, withdrawing her hand and entering the bridal sedan chair without a word.

"Hmph, quite the temperamental one." A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Yan Shaoyu's eyes.

"Even if you're resentful, what can you do? Circumstances dictate your actions; your Du family is no match for my Yan family. Once you join my Yan family, you'll have plenty of opportunities to see who truly holds power."

After picking up the bride, the wedding procession became even larger and more lively, heading towards the north of the city.

The Yan family originally lived in the south of the city, but after the three families joined forces and destroyed the Yan family, the Yan family took over the old master's place.

Amidst the congratulations of the crowd, Yan Shaoyu led the bride into the main hall with a red ribbon, where the two heads of the Yan and Du families were sitting with their wives on the high platform.

As Yan Yuxue looked at the Yan family patriarch standing close at hand, the scenes of countless clansmen dying tragically in her memory resurfaced. Her breathing quickened, and the killing intent and hatred in her heart surged uncontrollably.

Her gaze grew even colder.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Yan Mingyu, the head of the Yan family, possessed extremely keen senses and naturally noticed the hostile gaze of his in-law.

However, he wasn't angry at all; instead, he smiled at the two of them.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, today is the children's joyous occasion. Why aren't you smiling? Could it be that our Yan family has neglected etiquette and offended the Du family?"

Faced with the verbal attack from the Yan family patriarch, Xiao Ming immediately stepped in front of him.

"How could that be? It is a blessing that my daughter is able to marry into the Yan family. My wife and I are overjoyed. However, my daughter has been pampered since childhood and was raised by my wife herself. Now that she is getting married, we are naturally a little reluctant to part with her."

"Madam, today is a special day. You should be happier, shouldn't you?" Xiao Ming looked at Yan Yuxue and firmly grasped her hand.

Feeling the warmth from Xiao Ming's palm, Yan Yuxue also came to her senses, and forced a smile to agree with Xiao Ming's words.

"My lord is right. I was confused. Today... is a good day."

Watching the Du family patriarch desperately trying to explain and Madam Du putting on a forced smile, Yan Mingyu felt increasingly smug. He loved seeing the Du family, who clearly hated the Yan family, yet were trying their best to please them.
